Ruby and Madison Have Arrived!

Ruby Elizabeth – 11/28/09 – 2:17am – 5 lbs. 12 oz. – 18 in. long (on left)

Madison Lynn – 11/28/09 – 2:18am – 4 lbs. 13 oz. – 17 in. long (on right)

Both babies are doing very well.  Madison took in a little blood into her stomach and that’s why she has a tube in her mouth.  The doctors wanted to keep her up in the NICU until Monday morning just to be sure she’s doing all right.  We go up to see her often and feel great about the care she’s getting.  Pray with us that she gets to join us on Monday.

Allison is doing great also.  She’s a bit sore and tired as you can imagine but we’re both so thankful to God for these two amazing blessings.  Celebrate with us!
